The Ftape Installation Guide - zftape devices
/dev/rft*', `/dev/nrft*'
There were only eight device nodes provided by the ftape-2.x resp. sftape
driver VFS front-end. These were `/dev/rft0' to
`/dev/rft3' and `/dev/nrft0' to `/dev/nrft3'. The minor
device number of theses devices codes for the rewinding/non-rewinding
(see Rewinding and non-rewinding devices) mode
and the drive selection method (see Drive selection) only.
For zftape these are synonymous to `/dev/qft*' and `/dev/nqft*'
(which use the same major and minor device numbers). The shell script
MAKEDEV.ftape creates the former as symlinks to `/dev/qft*'
and `/dev/nqft*', see Installing ftape for compatibility
reasons.
